SUMMARY:

This research investigates the production practices of the first play by Grupo Rebuliço de Teatro, titled Anavantú: Um passo pra frente e dois pra trás (one step forward and two steps back). The study adopts an ethnographic approach and analyzes records kept by the author, who worked as both producer and actress in the production, relating them to the ideas of Rosyane Trotta (1995), Rômulo Avelar (2008), Fernando Yamamoto (2012), Diogo Spinelli (2016), and Heloisa Marina (2023) as well as to interviews conducted with producers Thayanne Percilla and Talita Yohana. Based on this experience, the study examines the main challenges and potentialities of independent theatre production that takes place in the surroundings of the Território de Educação, Cultura e Economia Solidária (TECESol), proposing strategic paths for overcoming these obstacles. The research concludes that theatre production in Natal is marked by structural fragilities, but also by strong collaborative networks that sustain the continuity of theatre groups despite precarious working conditions. The findings indicate that specific training in production, combined with the strengthening of cultural policies, is essential to expanding autonomy and professionalization within the sector.
